MCSO Law Enforcement Division
Chief Deputy Tim Moore
503-988-4300

The role of the Law Enforcement Division focuses primarily on services to citizens residing or recreating in unincorporated Multnomah County. Priority is given to increasing patrol efforts in east Multnomah County and on the navigable waterways.

Patrol efforts on the waterways include an emphasis on education, theft of boat parts and narcotics use and trafficking on the water. Law Enforcement handles a large volume of civil process and enforcement in Multnomah County. The Hazardous Materials team continues to work throughout the Metro region without regard to county boundaries. The Division continues to seek funding for a variety of law enforcement efforts from sources outside the general fund.

The Law Enforcement Division continues to seek new cooperative law enforcement consolidation and teamwork projects with other area agencies to increase efficiency, lower cost and avoid duplication of efforts.
